warning: unable to find mkoctfile in expected location - Win XP MSVC build

[Richard Crozier]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the example mex function from the manual:

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Getting-Started-with-Mex_002dFiles.html#Getting-Started-with-Mex_002dFiles

using the MSVC build of Octave on Windows XP 32 Bit, but am getting the
following output. 

octave-3.6.2.exe:15> mex firstmexdemo.c -v

Any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong? The file 'mkoctfile-3.6.2.exe' is
in the specified location.
